PHYSM Industrial

PHYSM Industrial designs loudspeakers and sound systems. Its social posts document the EME1 speaker and development work on its passive contour circuit.

Design & approach

Based in California’s East Bay, PHYSM builds custom hi-fi loudspeakers and works with SYMU Systems on installation, system design and tuning. The EME1 illustrates its attention to the whole enclosure: a single full-range driver, double-baffled birch cabinet and subsequent passive contour refinement. Its own development posts distinguish the design process from generic room imagery.

Inside the system

A Klipsch La Scala folded-horn loudspeaker sits alongside Ayre amplification, three visible Technics SL-1200-family decks and a rotary mixer. The speaker generation, amplifier model, deck variants and mixer model are unconfirmed. SYMU Systems and PHYSM Industrial are credited with installation and tuning, separately from the equipment manufacturers.
